Dustin Minium | founder

Red Tail is a boutique construction firm based in Austin, Texas, and was officially founded by Dustin Minium in 2019. Dustin, originally from Santa Monica, California, is the son of a general contractor that has been trusted to restore, remodel and build homes and galleries that were designed by some of the greats: John Lautner, Ray Kappe and James Turrell.

And while these job sites were seemingly insignificant at a very young age, they were quietly laying the groundwork for what would become an obsession with detail, design and execution. It was then in 2012 that Dustin decided to pack up and move to Austin, only to find himself with a construction opportunity at a local, beloved retailer, Stag Provisions. As life would have it, it was this job that almost immediately brought Dustin straight back home to California, to build Stag's second ever location on Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach. Slightly panicked and very green to the industry, Dustin called his father for help. Little did they both know, that summer would alter the course of Dustin's future, and lead him to form Red Tail 7 years later.
